Senior Network Engineer
I build and maintain the computer network for a software development start-up.
Here's the first step for everyone
IT is a very broad field, so I recommend taking time to figure out what you'd like to focus on. Do you want to be hands-on and understand the intricacies of how devices work? Or do you want to understand the way networking works? Are you more interested in coding? These are some questions to think about. If you want to start with a general IT understanding, I'd suggest starting with a CompTIA A+ certification or a Microsoft Help Desk support certification.
